The French Expeditionary Corps (or FEC) is attached to the US 5th Army. The French advocated using the seemingly impossible mountain routes to outflank the Gustav Line. As always, the fearsome Goums lead the way.

These Berbers come from the inhospitable Atlas Mountains in Morocco and are quite at home around Cassino. Fiercely loyal to their French officers, the Goums hack and slash their way through the mountains much to the surprise of both Allied and Axis generals.
